As seen here: here, Blizzard is currently working on a hotfix to alleviate the most pressing issues in 1.5.0, the most important of which seems to be the larvae block bug. They claim it will be out in 24 hours from now (8:00 CEST 03/08/2012).
Hi all,
We wanted to give you a quick update on our progress with patch 1.5.0 and a few of the fixes that you can expect within the next 24 hours.
You will see fixes applied to the following:
- Zerg larvae will no longer block the construction of new buildings.
- Splash damage will once again apply to units on varying cliff levels.
- The mode selector in Leagues and Ladders will no longer show duplicate entries for 3v3 and 4v4.
Also, in the very near future we are planning a reactive patch for many of the top issues that have surfaced including (but not limited to)
- The client crashing when loading the Friends tab in Leagues and Ladders.
- Some profiles not displaying a players’ ladder data in certain situations.
The team is working as fast as it can to correct these issues and many more. Thank you for your patience!
Looks like there's nothing on the bug with custom games not using recent balance data, but judging by the ASUS tournament, you can work around that.

Sounds good, too bad they didnt fix the eggs blocking hatcherys while they were at it
|
Well at least the bugs are going to be fixed quickly, hopefully in time for the next set of TSL games if they haven't already been played.
|
It's too bad they don't test these things thoroughly when doing such an extensive revamp.
Hopefully they learned their lesson.

This is good news. Thank you for responding rather quickly, Blizzard.

while at it... they should redesign whole interchange...
liked the idea about arcade for those who arent as competitve at 1v1 but really?... even arcade is harder to use T.T

Thats... not a bug....
Its like a burrowed unit. It cant move. But its a unit already.

that's not a bug, lol.

I guess it's good that they are fixing it.. Doubt they'll deliver in 24h though. Knowing Blizz it will be coming "Soon"

It's always been like that, how would an egg move out of the way..? Larva can scoot, egg not so much

Arcade is about 1000x times as good as the old custom-game interface, you are the only person on the internet who doesn't like it. I wouldn't say ladder is easier or better though (although I am happy to press F2 instead of clicking on multiplayer, personally).

Pretty sure they did. So much can go wrong with a revamp that big. I think they did pretty well tbh. A lot of these problems can be quickly fixed. The only downer i find from this patch is how some people cant even log on or there are some lag spike for others. The rest of the bugs are pretty laughable. Like larva blocking your hatchery? boo-hoo maybe im waving my old man cane here because in BW thats exactly what happened. I'm not saying it should stay that way because its not intended for this game but the way I see some people crying on this forum about how its breaking the game is hilarious.

It's better but still horrible

I just want the overall game-menu perfomance back. I have an i5 and still the game loading, loggin and such are much much slower.

That's patches, betas and expansions. Hotfixes are deployed very quickly.

Let's just hope they don't apply the hotfixes during a tourney and take bnet down. lol
|
The larva thing would be awesome!
|
This whole thing seems so alien to me, the Blizzard I know would have tested a patch like 1.5 for months before deploying it... between this patch and Diablo 3's uncountable bugs, for the first time ever I'v lost a little faith

The difference between "hotfix" and "patch" is that hotfix is applied to server without shutting it down. Server patch, on the other hand, requires going offline.

Have you logged in accessible to everyone 150 beta? No? Well...
